Shadowheart Progress Report #4
Added 2025-12-19 03:10:06 +0000 UTCI've made excellent progress with the Shadowheart movie and now we're in the final stretch. The main scene and two bonus scenes are effectively done. Everything for them is complete except for the fluid sim. About half of the fluid sim is done, and I've already started initial renders for earlier parts of those scenes.
The intro is well underway and will be done pretty soon. Even cutting down Viconia's speech, the intro is still about 30 seconds long. The outro will be fairly short so that shouldn't take long either.
I'm baking fluid sims while working on the intro/outro at the same time. I think it'll only take 1-2 days to basically complete the movie as far as Blender goes. It'll take about 2-3 days for all of the editing after that. I'm confident I should be able to get all that work done before Christmas.
The only thing stopping me from giving a concrete release date is rendering though. Most scenes take 12-20 hours to render. If I don't have to do substantial re-renders, it should be fine. Either way, release should be next week. I think I'll be able to figure out the specific date over this weekend.
